Since it was only a test, Kyuushin did not activate his Gene Lock immediately.
After stopping a few meters away, Kyuushin closed his eyes, focused his thoughts, and concentrated all his attention on perception.
After some time, Kyuushin finally sensed the connection between himself and the formula. After all, he was using his own chakra, so it was easy to sense it at such a close distance.
However, merely being able to sense the formula was not enough; he also needed to feel the subtle space-time ninjutsu fluctuations hidden within the formula. This was the most crucial function of the Flying Thunder God formula.
But unfortunately, despite Kyuushin's best efforts to perceive, within his perception, only his own chakra shone like a light bulb.
However, the ripples that Senju Tobirama recorded on the scroll, those circles of ripples echoing around the light bulb, were not felt at all.
After a long period of effort with no results, although Kyuushin was mentally prepared, he still felt a hint of frustration, but he quickly composed himself.
It was only impossible in his normal state; that didn't mean it was impossible in the Gene Lock state. Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated and directly activated his First Stage Gene Lock.
And in this state, Kyuushin finally felt a difference. The chakra on the formula still shone like a light bulb.
However, in his current perception, he could detect that his chakra seemed to be flickering, alternating between bright and dim in a continuous cycle, but the amplitude was quite small. If he wasn't consciously probing, he might not have noticed it at all.
And amidst this flickering, the originally dark space around the light bulb seemed to tremble, and faint ripples were forming, but they subsided into silence in an instant.
It really works!
Although not very clear, he genuinely felt the same fluctuations that Senju Tobirama recorded on the scroll. And as long as he could feel them, then there was a possibility of successfully performing the Flying Thunder God Technique.
Originally, Kyuushin thought he would at least need to activate his Second Stage Gene Lock to feel it, but he didn't expect to be pleasantly surprised.
According to Tobirama's scroll, as long as one can slightly sense a trace of fluctuation, it will become clearer and clearer in the subsequent process. Senju Tobirama also went through this process at the time.
However, since the First Stage Gene Lock could also perceive it, Kyuushin didn't plan to grind it out little by little. Being able to quickly form combat power was the most important thing.
Kyuushin directly activated his Gene Lock to the Second Stage, and in this state, the space-time ninjutsu fluctuations around the formula were indeed clearer, reaching the minimum standard for performing the Flying Thunder God Technique.
Seeing this, Kyuushin no longer hesitated. The chakra within his body quickly resonated with the Flying Thunder God formula. In an instant, a huge pulling sensation struck him, and Kyuushin was pulled away without any resistance.
Although Senju Tobirama had recorded the sensation of performing the Flying Thunder God Technique on the scroll, Kyuushin was still startled the first time he performed it.
He quickly opened his eyes, only to find himself standing next to the table, several meters away from where he had just closed his eyes.
He looked at Mito with an inquiring gaze, but saw that Mito's eyes were full of smiles, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl upwards. Kyuushin's heart settled, but he still tentatively asked:
"Grandma, I just..."
Mito nodded heavily and said, "Kyuushin, congratulations on your success!"
After hearing Mito's confirmation, Kyuushin's heart finally settled. He savored the process he had just experienced, then happily smiled.
And Mito also smiled along. Although Nagato next to them didn't know what had happened, he had just seen Kyuushin seemingly appear instantly from one place to another with a 'whoosh.' Even with his Rinnegan's eyesight, he didn't see Kyuushin's movement trajectory.
One must know that even though Nagato hadn't officially started his ninja training, he could usually, when focused, even see the details of a fly's wings flapping. This was the terrifying aspect of the Rinnegan's observational abilities.
And although he wasn't focused just now, it wasn't to the point where he couldn't see any movement trajectory. Now, seeing both Kyuushin and Mito smiling, he understood that Kyuushin had just mastered an incredible ninjutsu.
So Nagato also smiled. Although he had come to Konoha and met many people, subconsciously, he still regarded Kyuushin as the closest person besides Yahiko and Konan.
Although he didn't know what ninjutsu Kyuushin had just performed, it didn't stop him from genuinely feeling happy for Kyuushin.
After laughing for a while, the three finally stopped, but the atmosphere was still very pleasant. Mito said with emotion:
"After Tobirama created this ninjutsu, almost many geniuses at the time tried it, but not a single person succeeded.
Tobirama almost gave up at the time, and I also thought I wouldn't see this ninjutsu in my lifetime, but I didn't expect it to reappear in your hands."
Kyuushin was also very happy, even happier than when he first synthesized Ice Release. No other reason, the Flying Thunder God Technique had too many highlight moments in the original work, and it was very cool.
Whether one is strong or not is a matter for a period of time, but whether one is cool or not is a matter for a lifetime. What's more, after learning this jutsu, Kyuushin's margin for error when encountering enemies in the future would be much higher.
If he encountered an enemy he couldn't defeat, it would be very convenient to escape. After all, space-time ninjutsu that could be applied in actual combat was too rare. Below the Six Paths Level, only the Flying Thunder God Technique had this effect.[6]
And after learning this jutsu, Kyuushin instantly thought of several practical combat methods. Besides Minato's method in the original work of directly teleporting and using a kunai to eliminate the enemy, it was also a good combination with Ice Release.
However, how exactly to combine them, Kyuushin still had to think carefully. The top priority now was to first master this jutsu proficiently.
However, while the Flying Thunder God Technique was very strong, it wasn't to the point of being invincible. When watching the original work before, Kyuushin had wondered if, after learning the Flying Thunder God Technique, he could ambush enemies at any time after marking them.
For example, taking advantage of the enemy sleeping at night, directly teleporting over and killing the enemy with one strike.
However, after reading Tobirama's scroll, he found that this method was not very likely to be realized.
Firstly, the Flying Thunder God Technique is not something that can be used at will just by having a formula. It also depends on whether your formula is within your perception range. If it's not, then it naturally cannot be activated.
Moreover, this perception is not a vague perception. Senju Tobirama, who had just been resurrected by Edo Tensei in the original work, could perceive the Fourth Great Ninja War battlefield, but this belonged to vague perception, and he couldn't directly teleport there.
It's like human eyes; starlight from millions of light-years away can be seen, but it's only seen, and one cannot see what kind of planet it truly is.
Perception jutsu is also like this. Only by clearly feeling the spatial fluctuations around the Flying Thunder God coordinate formula can one teleport.
This actually already limits the maximum distance a single Flying Thunder God Technique can teleport. Taking the current Kyuushin as an example, his current Kagura Mind's Eye can perceive a distance of about seven or eight kilometers.
But to be able to feel the spatial fluctuations on the coordinate formula, although he hasn't tried it yet, he estimates the limit to be around two or three kilometers.
Of course, this distance can also increase with the improvement of one's perception ability, but even if it improves further, there is still a limit below the Six Paths Level.
So, using the Flying Thunder God Technique to kill enemies in their sleep is certainly possible, but the premise is that the coordinate formula on that shinobi must be within your perception range.
To casually teleport from Konoha to another shinobi village to kill someone and return is basically impossible.
However, the Flying Thunder God Technique's strength lies in its suddenness—moving to the enemy's side in an instant and killing them before they can react. Relatively speaking, long-distance movement is not its strong suit.
Of course, one could also set up more coordinate formulas along the way and then move in segments. This is also a method, but it puts greater mental pressure.
"I heard before that Hanzo called you 'Little Hashirama.' Now that you've learned Tobirama's jutsu, aren't you going to be called 'Little Tobirama' too?"
At this moment, Mito suddenly spoke again, teasing him.
Upon hearing this, cold sweat immediately trickled down Kyuushin's forehead. He chuckled and said,
"Grandma, that old man Hanzo was just talking nonsense. Please don't take it to heart."
However, Mito shook her head and said, "When I heard your nickname, not only was I not angry, but I was very happy.
If Konoha could produce another Hashirama, everyone in Konoha would be very happy. What's more, you are essentially inheriting the Senju clan's ninjutsu. Even if Hashirama were alive, he would probably be very happy to see a junior like you."
Seeing Mito say this, Kyuushin felt relieved, and then he also smiled and said,
"Then it's just right to let my name spread for a while longer. When I suddenly use Lord Tobirama's jutsu against an enemy later, they'll probably be startled."
Mito nodded, but then cautioned, "Although Tobirama's jutsu is very strong, don't think that you can do whatever you want with it. Tobirama's demise is a cautionary tale."
Kyuushin quickly nodded in agreement, but then added, "Although the Flying Thunder God Technique is already quite perfect, I feel there's still room for improvement, such as transferring multiple people at once."
"That's a very good idea," Mito thought for a moment and said.
"If Tobirama had been able to achieve that back then, his demise might not have happened, but unfortunately, even Tobirama only learned sealing techniques halfway.
If you want to try and improve it, you absolutely cannot neglect your study of sealing techniques."
Senju Tobirama's Flying Thunder God Technique was indeed not in its most perfect form, at least not comparable to the Fourth Hokage's. This was a fact Tobirama himself admitted in the original work.
Although he didn't know if it was due to sealing techniques, since Mito said so, Kyuushin naturally agreed wholeheartedly.
However, just as the atmosphere in the room was still pleasant, an untimely voice came from outside the house:
"So annoying, so annoying!"
Needless to say, Kyuushin knew it was Tsunade as soon as he heard it.
